I suspect that this:

--- a/drivers/char/pcmcia/ipwireless/hardware.c~a
+++ a/drivers/char/pcmcia/ipwireless/hardware.c
@@ -568,7 +568,7 @@ static struct ipw_rx_packet *pool_alloca
list_del(&packet->queue);
} else {
const int min_capacity =
- ipwireless_ppp_mru(hw->network + 2);
+ ipwireless_ppp_mru(hw->network) + 2;
int new_capacity;

spin_unlock_irqrestore(&hw->lock, flags);
_
was intended.
